PETER C. PETERSEN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

CIGARETTE-MAKING MACHINE.

ggnommflron forming part of Letters Patent No. 630,103, dated August 1, 1899.

Serial No. 646,727. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:-

. Be it known that 1, PETER G. PETERSEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illi-' 5 nois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in'Oigarette-MakingMachines; which are fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanyin g drawings, forming a part thereof,

and in which Q Figure 1 shows the construction of my said new device in plan as cut out of sheet metal ready for shaping the box. Fig. 2 shows the structure completed ready for work. Fig. 3 shows a transverse section of my said device in open position and filled with tobacco in form for rolling into the wrapper. The lid of the boxis open. Fig. 4 shows another transverse section. oimysaid device in closed po- 1d sition for rolling the tobacco before applying the wrapper. 'Fig. 5 shows the roller or cylinder with its hand-wheel in longitudinal side elevation. Fig. 6shows in perspective-a sheet-' metal casing for the cylinder. Fig. 7 shows 5 an end view of the cylinder, casing, and apron.

The object of my invention is to produce 'a simple pocket mechanism wherewith the smoker can manufacture his'cigarette- To attain said desirable end, I construct my said device in substantially the following mannor-namely, from suitable sheet metal I cut or stamp the two parts a b, (shown in Fig. 1,)

the former being the body part of 'a case A,

containing the necessary mechanism to perelements which are integral therewith. The parts or elements a a form the ends of the case, of which one has a hole a to hold one journal of the cylinder 0 and the other case end has a slot 21. for the othpr journal of said cylinder. Said two ends are raised vertically from the bottom' plate a, and thus form the ends of said case. The completed cylinder 0 is then inserted, after which the front d is bent up into place against the edges of the ends a a thus holding the cylinder 0 in place. Next the rear part of the case a is bent up into place against the rear edge-of the ends a a and provided with the hinged cover 12,

go hinged at b, and a rib b is on the inside of form said work, which is composed of several the cover and a. short distance back of the. cylinder 0. There is a notch a in the front of the case for admitting the finger to raise the cover of the case A. A piece of muslin or ducking is attached to the cylinder 0 by means of alongitudinal groove 0 therein, and

a sheet-metalshell d, with a bead (1' along one of its edges, is passed into said groove and so fitted that said parts will be held together as ,by a turn or two of the hand-wheel, after which the lid is opened and the apron drawn out again and the usual rice-paper covering f applied to the apron, as shown, the cover again closed. down, and thewheel 9 turned 'until the gummed or edge-moistened paper is completely wrapped aroundthe tobacco and j thus the cigarette completed, which can now be removed from; the case by raising the lid ofthe box.

r In my said construction the apron is held firmly andwithout slipping on its cylinder, andthe apron may readily be replaced and the cylinder removed and replaced.

What I claim is- The combination .witha longitudinallygrooved cylinder an apron and a sheet-metal beaded shell tosurround said cylinder and removably hold said apron, journals at each cylinderend and a hand-wheel on one of said journals, of a case for said cylinder, a hinged lid with -a longitudinal rib parallel to and :near said cylinder when the lid is closed there being a space between the lid-hinge and cylinder to receive and work cigarette material,

specified.
